This is live Bet Saturday.

I'm B-Sin, the SportsBetting Network.

Top of the hour.

These are the championship rounds.

Hour number four here on Live Betts Saturday as I'm broadcasting live from the

Mid-Gaming Hall here in Franklin, Kentucky, right above the circus sportsbook.

I am Brad Taylor, along with Will Hill, as we are watching.

The NBA playoffs, we are also watching Major League Baseball. And with that in mind, that brings us to our next guest.

You can find him on the Hassanshacks.com Hassanshacks. His name is Jake Hassan. He looks at Major League Baseball and

College Baseball. Jake, how are you today, sir? Doing great. Having a great time. I'm happy to be

with you guys. Amen. He comes to us live on the progressive guest line. You can follow his work at

We've always been saying for the last couple of years since they won that World Series a couple years ago, how much talent they're loaded with. And obviously when you stack Jacob de Grom with Nathan Evaldi and then you trade for McKenzie Gore, of course, Corey Seeger still in that lineup. You make the trade for Brandon Nemo. They are shocking me in a good way because I was a little bit worried that it would take some time for this Rangers product to gel. But as of right now, guys, I think the Rangers should be the favorite for the AL West. They're a team that can absolutely make a run. And I'll take it a step further. If you think that the Texas Rangers can win the AL West, just go bet Skip Schumacher to win manager of the year at

six to one, five to one, because those two things are correlated. If the Rangers, after

missing the playoffs last year, go ahead and win the AL West when everybody was picking the
